Heya everyone we've got some updates for our december plans!
As I mentioned previously, chumbus is not going to be a larger event like in previous years. This year it will be held as a one week seasonal shop with a single prompt. Like previous seasonal shops, the Chumbus shop will use RC instead of EC. The shop will contain all of the classic Chumbus items from last year!

The reason we do this is because everyone is rather busy during the holiday season, mods included! So in addition to a downsized chumbus, we're also going to be taking a 3 week hiatus at the end of the month. During this hiatus, all claims onsite will be turned off, meaning you cannot submit prompts, art, Myos, or design updates! Our discord help channel will still be open, but we will not be answering questions as often as we normally would be!

Dates
Chumbus will be held December 5th -> December 11th
Hiatus will occur from December 12th -> January 1st

If you have any questions about Chumbus or the Hiatus, please send them in the #help channel or leave a comment on this news post!

On a more minor note, with the end of auter, Maple Snort has left the familiar shop! He will be returning again next september! Make sure to grab yourself a whoo before it leaves after December!

Hope y'all had fun for hattowen this year! Now that the event is over, I have a few reminders and updates!

- The hattowen shop will be closing on Thursday November 4th ~11:59 pm. Spend your EC before the shop closes, as all EC remaining onsite will be wiped and deleted on the 5th

- If you completed 2 hattowen prompts (even if its just 2x mothmin prompts) you are eligable to claim the hattowen badge! If you never claimed it during the event, submit a general claim linking two of your hattowen prompts and say you're claiming the badge!

- Y'all may have some leftover Mothmin lanterns from hattowen, but these won't rot in your inventory! They can all be resold for 5 RC! They are NOT sellable for EC.

- Irribask MYO drops are still planned for november and the coming months! Stay tuned!

If you have any questions regarding Hattowen or the end of the event, drop a comment or ask in the discord #help chat!

Candy HUNT

Candy hunt is a site wide scavenger hunt, much like the one that occurred during Eggster! These candy hunts will last 24 hrs and will take place on the dates seen on the Hattowen calender. To participate, all you need to do is look around onsite for Treat bags! They can be hidden on any page, EXCEPT for member profiles, Masterlist entries, or things like submissions. This means places like the Encyclopedia, Shops, prompts, etc are all valid hiding spots!

Once you find a treat bag, click on it and it will be put in your inventory where you can open it up for a reward! These treat bags are unlimited and ARE NOT first come first serve. We will ask that during the hunts, please do not tell others in public channels where the treat bags are! You are absolutely free to Dm other members to discuss, give hints, or even just share locations privately if thats your thing.

Reminder

Most things onsite, including these candy hunts, are done completely manually. All bags are hidden and removed by hand. This means after the hunt ends, the candy bags may stay onsite for a period of time. Additionally, Candy hunts will NOT have a set start time. Announcements will be made onsite and on discord when they begin.

Thank you all for participating in the hallogrove 2021 raffle!
We had 50 whole entries this year, but only five winners...

Chocolatespyro - Grand Mantabu Prize!
TroubledFox - Chimera potion
HimejoshiHeart - Wereform potion
monkfishlover - Spider Potion
AcuteExposure - 30 EC

Thank y'all so much for entering! 

Additionally, I would like to make a small announcement for any Non-discord users who missed it!
The Candy hunt that was supposed to happen on tuesday was moved to Thursday! So look out for that announcement tomorrow!

Hattowen is coming to a close in just 5 days, so get your final prompts in and grab those items!
EC->TC conversions have also been added to the hattowen shop

Dear citizens of ranebo,

The number of rifts has increased exponentially and a number of strange and potentially dangerous creatures have emerged.
 Additionally, suspicious substance reacts aggressively when taken near a rift and becomes one of these creatures.

Effective immediately, we are sharing information that has been collected so far on this species to the public.

Take care.
-R.R.A

Hattowen Update #1

Its the 3rd of October and we've got our first wave of hattowen updates for yall!

First things first, we've decided that (atleast for this Hattowen) we will not be using Event Energy! It was a bit confusing during Sunnyfest, so if all goes well, we may be removing it in its entirety!
(If you have any Event energy left over from sunnyfest, send a message in the discord #help channel and a mod can get that converted to normal enegry for you! If you're not a member of our discord, Submit a general claim and ask to have it transferred!)

Secondly, the Hallogrove explore token has been released in the DIY + EXPLORE shop!
The Hallogrove Explore Token drops 3 hattowen exclusive crafting materials and a chance at a random hattowen familiar!
The recipes you can use these materials in will be dropped on the 6th. These recipes will include 3 new collectable accessories, one new familiar, three potions, and a recipe for the Mothmin Lantern!

The hattowen Cash shop will also be released on the 6th as well, containing all the hattowen items in the EC shop as well as some new ones and ones you may find missing!
